Are you looking for a homemade air dry clay recipe? This is it! It's an easy 3 ingredient air dry modeling clay that dries hard at room temperature!
We love modeling doughs over here. Usually we make homemade playdough, but sometimes you need a modeling clay that dried smooth and hard.

This homemade modeling clay is perfect for kids projects and creations!

It doesn't use salt, so there's no graininess, and it dries really hard. It's also pure white, which makes it easy to paint after it dries!

The Best Homemade Air Dry Clay Recipe

This simple air dry clay recipe only has 3 ingredients! You will need:

2 cups baking soda

1 cup corn starch

1 1/2 cups water

In a medium pot combine the baking soda and corn starch and stir them to mix.

Add in the water and stir until the mixture is thoroughly wet. No more dry spots!

Turn on the burner to medium-low heat and cook and stir until the mixture clings together in a ball.

It might take 5-10 minutes of cooking and stirring for your homemade clay to fully come together.

Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner. At this point your homemade air dry clay may still appear quite sticky. I like to keep stirring and kneading with the spoon in the warm pot to reduce the water even more.

Then turn out your air dry clay onto a cutting board that has been dusted with corn starch.

Knead the clay until it is smooth and cooled off. You can add additional corn starch as needed to reduce sticking.

Note: This air dry clay will become less sticky as it cools completely.

How to Use Homemade Air Dry Clay

You can use this homemade modeling clay to make all kinds of things!

Once you have kneaded it until it's smooth you can use it like playdough and just model, cut, and play and then ball it back up and store it.

Or you can use it to make more permanent things such as:

Just like with other clays, it's important to use a little water to help pieces stick together as they dry.

Otherwise you may find yourself gluing pieces together once they are dry.

Homemade Christmas ornaments

Animal figures

Pinch pots

Coil pots

Little bricks to build with

Anything you can imagine!

When you are done, just sit your creations out at room temperature until they dry completely.

How to Store Your Air Dry Clay

Since this is air dry clay, it will dry if it's left out.

To keep your homemade clay workable store it in an air tight container when it's not in use.

We went to make a batch when we have a project to make such as a batch of homemade ornaments or a modeling project for school, so I am not sure how long the clay will last, but I assume at least a 2-3 weeks if not longer.

Easy Handprint Art

Handprint doodle art is a fun and relaxing art activity for all ages. If you have sharpie markers (or any kind of markers) and construction paper then that's pretty much all you need to get started.

I have always loved doodling and patterning for some reason. When I was studying art in high school I painted patterns in bright colours and fine details for my year 12 major artwork (my parents still have one of them hanging in their lounge room!). At the time I wouldn't have been able to tell you the reason I chose this form of creativity but in hindsight it was a good way to tune out and destress from the overload of exams and other life pressures. Patterning is very soothing and you don't need to think at all while you're drawing. By the way the artwork above is not my best work! It's just a quick rendition to show you a general idea that anybody can do.

If you want to create something with more detail you can use finer pens and take your time, and experiment with colour combinations (black and white would probably look great!).

Here is a video of handprint doodle art in action, or scroll down for a full materials list and step-by-step processes.

You will need:

* construction paper
* a sharpie marker or pen
* scissors
* glue stick

How to:

1. trace your hand shape onto construction paper

2. cut the shape out and glue onto a different coloured piece of paper

3. draw a rough grid of wavy lines across the page creating segments

4. trace around the edge of the hand so it has an outline

5. the black create the shapes to doodle inside, in each section draw a different pattern

See - too easy! Now off you go and experiment with some handprint doodle art of your own.

* Make some brightly-coloured mandala leaf print patterns
* Create texture stamps from craft foam and recycled cardboard
* Have you ever tried your hand at traditional mosaics?
* Try creating earth art outdoors
* Or make some garden art in your back yard

Primary colors are one of the first art concepts I like to introduce young kids to in art. First, because they are a basic building block for understanding how to make all kinds of things. And second, because mixing colors is kind of magical. This color mixing coffee filter craft is a fun introduction to what happens when those primary colors mix together!

Books + Art =Win

Those of you that know me I love to connect art and art concepts to children's literature. Sharing a book begins class on a nice, calm, often silly note. Kids look forward to it. Sometimes I choose books that help introduce the kids to a famous artist or work of art. But, today's book is a simple illustration of color mixing. Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni is a fun little story about, of course, what happens when blue and yellow mix.

Check out this list of children's books that help teach all the elements of art! There are some great books on color and color mixing!

Color Mixing with Play-Doh

While Play-Doh isn't good for art with longevity it is a great tool for demonstrating color mixing. This Play-Doh assortment has perfect primary colors magenta, turquoise, and yellow for color mixing. Each child got two primary colors at a time and experimented with what happens when they are mixed in different amounts. After kids have had time to see what happens when they mix pairs of primary color set your students loose to mix their colors anyway they want! The kids made some beautiful browns by mixing all their colors together.

Coffee Filter Color Mixing

After the talking we move on to the doing. It doesn't get any easier than this supply list. All you need are white coffee filters, watercolor markers, and a spray bottle of water. Get busy.

Fold a plain white coffee filter into fourths. Fill the coffee filters with dots, dashes, any kinds of marks using markers. This 40 pack of Crayola Washable Markers is perfect for small class use and has lots of great colors to choose from! Make marks slowly, so the ink really had time to sink into the four layers of the filter. It is totally acceptable to leave plenty of white space between marks. The next step will fill it all in! Encourage your kids to experiment with the primary colors but did not restrict them to only using those.

. Lay colored and folded coffee filters on scrap paper or paper towels. Allow kids to spray their coffee filters with water. Really spray them as the water needs to soak through all the layers so the color soaks through all the layers.

White space is quickly filled in, colors swim together and new colors and shapes are made! This part was FUN for the kids to witness!

You've got these wet little wads of awesome color. Now what? Let 'em dry, at least for a little bit. It's so tempting to unfold them right away. But when they're wet the coffee filters are super fragile and all that color that's swimming around needs to settle down before you unfold them.

It takes a couple hours for them to dry, overnight is even better!

These radial designs coffee filters are an exercise in color mixing but they are also an easy cheat to a tie dyed look. Display them as is or go another step and incorporate them into a collage, a weaving, or make a colorful snowflake!

Every single share allows me to bring you more fun projects and free printables!
